AppSafe™ - Virtual Rapid Recovery

"The survival rate for companies without a disaster recovery plan is less than 10%!" Touche Ross Study .  According to Gartner, "only 35% of SMBs have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan in place due to the costs associated in implimenting an effective solution."  The fact is, no one can predict when an outage or disaster will occur, but there is an affordable Disaster Recovery solution to insure the integrity of your business. AppSafe™.

U.S. Disaster Prone Areas

AppSafe™ is a fully managed disaster recovery service providing you with a safe, affordable, and flexible solution to ensure the rapid recovery of your business-critical applications in the event of an outage or disaster. Much more than backup and restore methodologies, AppSafe allows you to leverage virtualization to implement a cost-effective, fully supported disaster recovery strategy with no requirement for capital expenditure. Your applications and data are replicated, to geographically redundant data centers and our virtual environment, providing the flexibility to meet your critical application delivery requirements.

Eliminating new hardware investment and compatibility issues for application recovery within our datacenter, AppSafe maintains an image of your entire server - including OS, Applications, and Databases - in a virtual environment. When an outage occurs, your data will be activated in the virtualized environment and users will be re-routed to continue work as usual - with minimal downtime.

Cost-Effective, Flexible Solutions

AppSafe's flexible pricing allows you to choose what performance levels your recovered applications will have, along with flexible pricing for different RPO/RTO (Recovery Point Objective/Recovery Time Objective) timeframes meaning you won't pay for more than your business requires. For example, a single web server might have a small hardware footprint but be extremely dynamic and critical to the business, versus a large database server that has a large hardware footprint but only has static databases used in a support role. Our custom mix of technologies and services allows you to perform business continuity testing with no disruption to your production applications and data.

AppSafe delivers the appropriate processing platform for your business-critical applications allowing you to size out the needed hardware bundle for delivery of your applications during a disaster. These virtual hardware bundles include: processing power, memory, storage and internet bandwidth. Three standard bundles, starting at $250 per month, are available to best suit your application delivery requirements.

In addition, we will provide data replication based on the RPO/RTO service you have selected. AppSafe has three standard RPO/RTO solutions - 4 hour, 8 hour, and 24 hour - starting at $500 per instance. Implementing a regular occurring failover to increase reliability and ensure failover support is also recommended. These failover tests will be an exact replicate of the processes and procedures followed in the case of a real failover situation. In the event of a disaster, you can quickly and easily switch over to the virtual environment, and when your production environment is available again, we'll assist you with the transfer of the data and application back to your primary production site.

Utilizing AppSafe means in the event of a disaster, your systems will be up and running quickly and efficiently, without the cost of additional hardware and remote sites. Recovering a single server or an entire infrastructure has never been simpler. This service allows virtual servers hosted at our data center to be back within your network with minimum interruption to your business.
